Definitions

  • the invention relates to an entertainment system with at least one entertainment device having a playing field.
  • Entertainment devices are known in a wide variety of designs. They are designed as play equipment with or without the possibility of winning money, as a so-called pinball machine, as a billiard table, as a dice game, as a video game device or the like. Various measures have already been taken to encourage a user or player to use such entertainment devices and to provide them with an adequate entertainment experience during the game.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing the entertainment process and the design options in a more varied manner and with greater incentive to play in an entertainment system of the type mentioned at the outset, so as to increase the entertainment value for the user.
  • This measure enables the player, particularly if the projection screen is a large projection screen, to follow the game sequence of the entertainment device in detail, which represents a special entertainment value for the player.
  • players who are not involved in the game can follow the game without disabling the player and provide the player with appropriate advice and advice on how to shape the further course of the game.
  • a control panel connected to the entertainment device is assigned to the projection screen.
  • the same actuators as on the entertainment device are attached to the control panel, so that the player can operate the entertainment device without direct eye contact.
  • individual areas of the playing field can be displayed in large or small format on the projection screen by key or computer control. This results in a variety of design options for the projection image, since particularly interesting areas of the real playing field in large format and less interesting areas of the real playing field in small format simultaneously or sequentially on the Projection screen can be projected.
  • the playing field and a video clip, a television program, a film or a slide can expediently be displayed on the projection screen at the same time.
  • the simultaneous projection of the playing field and video clip or the like can preferably be carried out in different formats using buttons or computers.
  • the same is expediently designed as a camera arranged spatially in front of the playing field of the entertainment device.
  • control panel is designed as a remote control unit. This results in a particularly simple connection between the control panel and entertainment device.
  • FIG. 1 is a view of an entertainment system according to the invention with an entertainment device designed as a slot machine
  • Fig. 2 shows the basic structure of an entertainment system according to the invention with several entertainment devices designed as slot machines and
  • Fig. 3 is an entertainment system according to the invention with a device designed as a Bi 1 dschi rm-Spi el entertainment device.
  • an entertainment device 1 designed as a slot machine is suspended from a wall 2.
  • the entertainment device 1 has on its front designed as a playing field 3 essentially a symbol game arrangement 4, different displays 5, two risk game leaders 6 and different actuators 7.
  • a control panel 12 In front of the projection wall 10 is a control panel 12, which is also equipped with the actuators 7 of the entertainment device 1.
  • the game sequence of the entertainment device 1 can thus be influenced via the control elements 7 of the control panel 12 designed as a remote control unit while observing the playing field 3 shown on the projection wall 10. This gives the player a so-called "Gel dspi el -Ki no".
  • FIG. 2 shows an entertainment system with three entertainment devices 1 designed as slot machines, in front of the playing fields 3 of which an image recording device 8 is arranged. All playing fields 3 can be projected onto the projection screen 10 via projectors 11 coupled to the image recording devices 8.
  • a control panel 12 is assigned to each corresponding partial area 13, 14, 15 of the projection wall 10.
  • the symbol game device 4 is shown in the lower half of the partial area 15, while a video clip VC runs in the upper half of the partial area 15 by arranging a corresponding device.
  • an entertainment device 1 which is designed as a Bi 1 dschi rm-Spi el device with two play areas. Accordingly, the projection wall 10 are also associated with two control panels 12, so that 3 Bet ⁇ fighting games can be performed under observation of the projected field of play.
  • the invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiments shown and described. It also includes all professional modifications and further developments as well as partial and / or sub-combinations of the described and / or illustrated features and measures.
